Ye Xuan also found out that something was wrong with Hibbert, but he was not the boss of the team, and he had only just joined the team, so it was difficult to say anything. After receiving the serve from the back court, slowly advance to the front court, and then hand the ball to Pickle Pepper.

Pickled Pepper forced a breakthrough through Bill again, but the opponent obviously prepared for such an attack, and Ariza next to him immediately came over to wrap up, and Pickled Pepper had to distribute the ball to Lance again, but this time there was plenty of time, and Lance took aim after receiving the ball, and finally threw this three-point shot.

But on the next offense, Gortat was on the inside again, and Wall decisively hoisted the ball to him. After the Polish Hammer got the ball, they were not polite, and directly hit the ball twice and turned around to score the ball, which not only scored the ball, but more importantly, caused Hibbert's foul, and in less than 3 minutes of the opening game, the Pacers' main center received a second foul.

In desperation, Coach Frank had no choice but to replace Hibbert and replace him with Masimmi to guard the interior. The opponent will add a free throw, the Pacers slowly serve in the backcourt, after Ye Xuan receives the ball, he advances to the front court, this time Ye Xuan directly used his own butterfly step, after shaking off Wall, he directly stepped back to the three-point line and shot the ball out.

In the next few rounds, the opponent continued to use the dislocation after the block to impact the Pacers' interior line, although the outside line of Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper firepower is still very strong, but the Pacers' interior line was also lost, until the first quarter of the game was less than 4 minutes left, the opponent took the lead in replacing the main force to rest, at this time the Pacers only trailed by two points at 17:19.

If you just look at the point difference, it may feel like a close match, but if you look at the situation of the Pacers inside, you can see that they are in a very bad situation right now. Hibbert was replaced with two fouls after just three minutes, while Masimmi, who came off the bench, also had two fouls and David West also had two fouls and was now rested.

The Pacers, who lost their interior barrier, were challenged by the Polish Hammers and Brazilian Beasts on the inside, and 13 of the 19 points scored by the Wizards were scored by opponents inside the restricted area. This made the Pacers' perimeter twin very uncomfortable, and there was a feeling of being isolated and besieged by opponents.

After replacing Hill and Scola with a substitute, it is relatively handy to face the opponent's relatively weak substitute. In the last minutes of the first quarter, the Pacers' bench dominated the game, but unfortunately the opponent's veteran Andre Miller was on fire and hit two three-pointers in a row, which allowed the Wizards to not be pulled away quickly when they faced the bench.

At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers and Wizards were tied at 27. At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Coach Frank directly replaced Ye Xuan to lead the bench, and the opponent also replaced Bill. After serving in the backcourt, Ye Xuan slowly took the ball across the half court. Facing Bill, Ye Xuan showed his excellent individual ability, and two consecutive changes of direction directly shook Bill away and then hit a difficult backward jumper.

The Wizards relied on Andre Miller and Martell Webster's blocking to attract the attention of Ye Xuan and Scola, and then handed a ball to Bradley Beal, who was ambushed in the bottom corner, and Beal calmly shot after receiving the ball and hit a three-point shot directly.

Ye Xuan shook his head, and then reluctantly continued to take the ball to the front court, and then handed the ball to Hill to control, on the one hand, to save physical strength, and on the other hand, to use his running position to create opportunities for his teammates.

Hill held the ball at the top of the arc to observe his teammates, and then beckoned to call Scola to help block and dismantle, after the block, Hill directly passed the old Miller, into the inside line, facing Webster who came to make up for the defense, handed the ball to Scola who stayed at the top of the arc, Scola took the ball at the top of the arc to make a posture that was about to shoot immediately, Drew Gooden on the side quickly pounced to make up for the defense, but Scola pressed down his wrist and passed the ball directly to Ye Xuan, who had quietly cut in, after Ye Xuan received the ball, looked at the inside line of the Wizards team, which had been emptied by continuous balls, and was not polite, and directly jumped high and dunked the ball with one arm.

After dunking the ball in, Ye Xuan roared angrily at the sky, finally letting out a little resentment in his chest. After the Wizards served the ball in the backcourt, they still handed the ball to Miller Sr., and after Miller controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, he called Gooden to help block and dismantle in the face of George Hill's marking, and after the block, Miller hit the ball and passed it back to Beal who was ambushed in the bottom corner.

Bill received the ball on the bottom line, and with a false shot, he was about to slip to the bottom line to the Pacers penalty area, but he just took a few steps inside, and the "bang" directly hit Scola's arms, and Scola also fell backwards, it turned out that Scola was stuck in the route that Bill broke through early, and after the opponent collided, he fell backwards, and sure enough, it caused the opponent's offensive foul. After being fouled on an offense, Beal was visibly annoyed.

Ye Xuan played with the substitute for a few more minutes before being replaced by Coach Frank, and at this time, the two sides also changed their respective main lineups. Due to Ye Xuan's excellent play, the Pacers have led the opponent by 5 points in these minutes, and they also caused the opponent's main guard Bradley Beal to foul twice, making the opponent's defense become constrained.

But Ye Xuan never expected that Hibbert's state today was like handing over 20 times in a row last night, soft as a gummy, the card position couldn't be stuck, the defense couldn't jump, and even the rebounds were not well protected, after being grabbed by the opponent 3 offensive rebounds in a row and played into a second offense, Ye Xuan's 7-point advantage that he had finally established had been exhausted.

When Ye Xuan came on the court again, Hibbert had already received his fourth foul and was replaced by Coach Frank, and although the Pacers barely bit the score with the support of pickled peppers, their interior line had been beaten by the opponent. At halftime, the Pacers relied on the play of Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper to barely keep the score at 47:55, trailing the opponent by 8 points at halftime.

At halftime, Coach Frank grabbed Hibbert and went on to criticize Hill's performance in defending Miller. Then after looking at Hibbert with 4 fouls and Marcinmi with 3 fouls, Coach Frank simply sacrificed the small lineup of the last trial, with George Hill as the point guard, while Ye Xuan and Pickle Pepper played the second and third positions respectively, Lance played the position of power forward, and David West played a space center.
